The Immune System 101: It's a Jungle in There

The human immune system is a wondrous communication network that quietly goes about its business 24 hours per day, protecting us from foreign invaders, helping us to adapt to new environments, and allowing us to age gracefully.

This UCSF Osher Mini Medical School series offers up-to-date information about how a normal immune system functions, and how doctors treat disorders of immunity. (from uctv.tv)
